Abstract: High precision radial velocity observations of the nearby M4 dwarf Gl 876
with the Observatoire de Haute Provence 1.93 m telescope and the new 1.20 m
swiss telescope at la Silla indicate the presence of a jovian mass companion to
this star. The orbital fit to the data gives a period of 60.8 days, a velocity
amplitude of 246 m/s and an eccentricity of 0.34. Assuming that Gl 876 has a
mass of 0.3 solar masses, the mass function implies a mass for the companion of
2/sin(i) Jupiter masses.
